Developmental Drumming
Developmental drumming is the act
of bringing varies drums into an early childhood setting. The children are given instruction on how to
play the drums and where the drums originate. The children are taught different
songs and games to play like Rhythm-Talk, Rhythmic Follow the Leader,
Fast-And-Slow, High-and-low, and Quiet-And-Loud. The benefits of drumming with
young children have been proven to expand their social, physical, intellectual,
creative, emotional, and cultural growth at an accelerating pace.
Developmental
drumming offers young children the ability to sing and move to the beat of the
drumming. Consequently helps young children to develop balance, spatial
concepts, verbalization and coordination. When children are singing and dancing
they are learning in a very relaxed, natural, and uninhibited manner. Drumming also
endow young children with the feeling of accomplishing something that felt good.
Studies have shown children that play
musical instruments excel in school and foster positive relationships with
their peers and family members. Drumming also provides a platform for young
children to share their knowledge of drumming with family members.
Developmental Drumming is another
outstanding tool that provides young children with self awareness, self
control, and an innate ability. To grow, express, learn, create, and dream.
Music is a key to unlocking young children minds and hearts to the people and world around them.
